The Nottingham Young Quakers group (NYQ) is for those aged between 18 and 35(ish) who are interested in Quakerism. You don’t need to be a Quaker or religious, just interested in spirituality and exploring your own thoughts & values. We meet regularly to socialise together and take part in spiritual discussions.  We also have a Facebook group.

We’re a diverse group, and all are welcome. Here’s some information about our members:

  • Some have been Quaker since they were children, others have become Quakers as adults, others aren’t Quaker at all
  • Some believe in God and some are atheists and some are in between
  • Many of us are part of the LGBTQ community
  • Some of us are students and some of us are employed and some of us are parents
  • Some of us try to come to every event and others come once in a while when they can fit us in
  • Several of us have disabilities, including physical, mental, and learning difficulties
  • We have a range of dietary requirements including vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free and soy-free – we cater for all! View our NYQ Recipe Book here.
  • Some of us attend Meeting for Worship on a Sunday morning, others have never been before
  • Some of us helpfully write articles about our experiences as part of the NYQ group – take a look here for more information! If you’re more of a visual person, have a look at our lovely faces here.

We went to the cinema to see a feminist horror film followed by a Persian meal and games…

We organise lots of events! Head here for what’s coming up on our events calendar.

Quakers have some core values: peace, equality, truth & integrity, and simplicity & sustainability. These aren’t just words, but what we call testimonies – values that we try to live by and let us challenge us. Our events are often linked to these values. Find out more these here
